The story
Of everything Noble designed here, the Lee Plaza leads the list, a building in Detroit, finished in 1927 and listed on the National Register in 1981.
Every one of Noble's 3 works on record still stands. The record opens in 1927 with the Lee Plaza, in the years Detroit became the Motor City and built like it meant to stay on top, and closes in 1936 with Elwood Grill. In Detroit, Noble's work stands in East Village.
Of the works on record, 3 are Art Deco, the style that runs through Noble's work. The Lee Plaza at 2240 W. Grand Blvd is a good first stop for anyone tracing Noble's buildings.
